re: Powerful forces all lining up to stop St. George

You know Money, the devil is always in the details.

The opposition sounds reasonable, right? They just want to cap the petition period at a year and save money by taking advantage of the November election day, right?

We if you go to the secretary of state's website, you can see there is a Nov. 4th election already scheduled with a December 6th. runoff election already scheduled.

So why did Dorsey pick Nov, 4th as the drop dead election and not Dec. 6th.?

I'm guessing this is why:
July 23 is the last day for getting a proposition on the Nov. 4th ballot.

So do the math; The Advocate reported the SG drive began on 9/23/13 and the cutoff day if Dorsey's amendment passes, etc. is 7/23/14 then the SG people would only have 10 months to start their drive, certify the signatures, and then get the proposition on the ball.

That's part of the truth too.
